What Tools can you Work With?
Global Innovation Management
PageRank is calculated on number
and quality of backlinks
The page itself has nothing to do with a page rank calculation
•
Figure 1: Mathematical PageRanks (out of
100) for a simple network (PageRanks
reported by Google are rescaled
logarithmically). Page C has a higher
PageRank than Page E, even though it has
fewer links to it: the link it has is much
higher valued. A web surfer who chooses a
random link on every page (but with 15%
likelihood jumps to a random page on the
whole web) is going to be on Page E for
8.1% of the time. (The 15% likelihood of
jumping to an arbitrary page corresponds to
a damping factor of 85%.) Without
damping, all web surfers would eventually
end up on Pages A, B, or C, and all other
pages would have PageRank zero. Page A is
assumed to link to all pages in the web,
because it has no outgoing links.

Zipf distribution of Occurrence of
Keywords
•
Zipf’s law can be used to demonstrate
the authenticity of disputed works
–
–
–
•
•
Each author has their own preference for
using certain words, and so one
technique compares the occurrence of
different words in the uncertain text with
that of an author's known works.
The counted words are ranked (whereby
the most common is number one and the
rarest is last) and then plotted on a graph
with their frequency of occurrence up the
side
E.g., Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare
Mandelbrot called the exponent the
“temperature of discourse”

The Ideal
• Earn revenue,
– minimize cost, and
– maximize profit
• With no Interference from Competitors
• Without Quality and Efficiency Problems
• Without Personnel Problems
Global Innovation Management
In Practice
• Customers are stingy and don’t want to give
you “revenue” (especially on the Internet)
• Competitors set your price and volume (i.e.,
Revenues) … not you
• Things always cost more than you expect,
and there are always more ‘things’ to do, and
• You may be more concerned with surviving
and growing than in maximizing profit

How do Keywords and URL
visits relate to any of this?
• SEO / SEM is about Keywords and URLs …
– Nothing else
• What can you do with this information?
• What would you like to do that you can’t you
do with this information?
Global Innovation Management
Google Analytics
• Google has tried to integrate their reporting
for Fixed and mobile platform AdWords and
traffic analysis
• http://www.google.com/analytics/features/m
obile.html
• So the same approaches used for Search
Engine Management can work across all
platforms
Global Innovation Management
Google Analytics
•
•
To see mobile keywords in
Google Analytics, go
to Audience > Mobile >
Overview in the right hand
nav.
Now filter to exclude (not set)
and (not provided) and include
only mobile keywords.
Global Innovation Management
Google Keyword Tool
• The Google Keyword Tool is the only mobile-only
keyword tool that gives you mobile-specific keywords
that you’re not already optimized for if you enter a URL,
category or keyword.
• In the Google Keyword Tool, select all mobile devices in
the Advanced Options and Filters, and you’ll get
keywords from tablets, smartphones and feature
phones. You also have the option to select only
smartphones and tablets, or only feature phones.
Global Innovation Management
Google Keyword Tool
Global Innovation Management
Bing Ads Intelligence
• Bing Ads Intelligence can’t generate mobile keywords as
the Google Keyword Tool can, but it’s the only tool that
can estimate tablet search volume.
• Take the list of mobile-specific keywords that you’ve
compiled so far and run a customized traffic report in
Bing Ad Intelligence, selecting Smart Phones, Non-smart
phones (i.e. feature phones) and Tablets.
Global Innovation Management
Bing Ads Intelligence
Global Innovation Management
Bing Ads Intelligence
• The data can be used to ensure Google data is accurate, and to give
a second look to keywords that appear with a lot of volume in Bing,
but not in Google.
• Bing Ads Intelligence also allows you to get demographic info on
your mobile users, which can be helpful if you’re building personas
and you want to compare mobile personas with desktop.
Global Innovation Management
App Keyword Research Tools
• Neither Google nor Apple have a keyword tool
for Apps, so if you are doing app store
optimization it’s a little more difficult to get what
you’re looking for.
• The best place to get official information on app
keyword popularity seems to be the engines
themselves, which offer app-specific keywords in
the autosuggest for their search engines.

Queries by Platform
•
•
The Google Webmaster Tools mobile
search queries report is good because
it allows you to compare your desktop
queries with your mobile queries and
discover differences in the search
behavior of users accessing your site
from different devices.
To do this, simply download your
Mobile and Web CSVs by using the
filter in the search query report and
downloading the tables that appear.

• What is the “right landing page”?
• When users click on your ad, they should arrive at a landing page clearly
displaying the information or product offered
• What is the “conversion goal”? (i.e., which page is it, and why?)
• Given your ‘old’ Adwords campaign (your first three keywords)
• is your Website worth keeping (are CPCs less than Conversion profits?)
• Given your ‘new’ Adwords campaign (your first three keywords)
• is your Website worth keeping (are CPCs less than Conversion profits?)

Case Study: Christmas Gift Web
• Web pages

–
‘Christmas shop’ landing page (but not always being an obvious place to get started)
‘Christmas helper’ section actually had a limited selection of gifts available
•

–
Christmas outfit
Marks and Spencer Christmas adverts with celebrities such as Danii Minogue modeling the
clothes
By clicking on one of the ‘all outfits’ links to the right a section was found where the outfits
could be filtered by a person
•
•
–
With users often needing to buy multiple gifts, it’s a time of year that ’3 for 2′ stands out. Within the general
gift finder it’s hard for users to filter by offer and make purchase decisions based on items within that offer. We
observed users looking at the ’3 for 2′ call outs while browsing. This was particularly the case on the mobile
website where there were limited sorting options.
This helped users who wanted to find a particular item they had seen one person wear
breadcrumb at the top of the page showed that this content was available but quite hard for users to access.
From the mobile website users had to rely on browsing through the product categories
•
This meant browsing through multiple pages with users missing the ‘narrowing’ options available at the bottom
of the pages.

The Field
Global Innovation Management
Quality Of Design Is An
Indicator Of Credibility
• Users really do judge a
book by its cover…
• Or rather, a website by its
design
• Elements such as layout,
consistency, typography,
color and style all affect how
users perceive your website
and what kind of image you
project.
Global Innovation Management
77% of visitors won’t scroll
• 23% of visitors scroll on their first visit to a
website
– 77% of visitors won’t scroll; they’ll just view
the content above the fold -- i.e. the area of
the page that is visible on the screen without
scrolling down (Jakob Nielsen’s study )
– The percentage of users who scroll decreases
with subsequent visits, with only 16%
scrolling on their second visit
• Place your key content on a prominent
position, especially on landing pages

Core essentials:
Innovation Management
The Ideal Search Box Is 27Characters Wide
• The average search box is 18characters wide
– 27% of queries were too long to fit into
it
• Extending the box to 27 characters
would accommodate 90% of
queries
– Remember, you can set widths using
ems, not just pixels and points. One em
is the width and height of one “m”

Effective User Testing Doesn’t
Have To Be Extensive
• Usability tests found that tests with just five
users
– typically reveal about 85% of all problems
with your website
• 15 users would find pretty much all problems.
Global Innovation Management
White Space Improves
Comprehension
• White space de-clutters a page by
giving items room to breathe
• Group items together by
decreasing the space between
them and increasing the space
between them and other items on
the page
– This is important for showing
relationships between items
• e.g. showing that this button applies
to Innovation
this set of itemsManagement
Global
Informative Product Pages
Help You Stand Out
• Many product pages lack
sufficient information\
– A serious problem,
because product
information helps people
make purchasing decision
• Research shows that poor
product information
accounts for around 8% of

Most Users Are Blind To
Advertising
Most users are essentially blind to ad banners
If they’re looking for a snippet of information on
a page or are engrossed in content, they
won’t be distracted by the ads on the side.
• The implication of this is not only that users
will avoid ads
– but that they’ll avoid anything
that looks like an ad, even if it’s not an
ad
• Some heavily styled navigation items may look like
Global Innovation
banners, so beManagement
careful with these elements.
Blue Is The Best Color For
Links
• What color should your links be?
• The first consideration is contrast:
– links have to be dark (or light) enough to
contrast with the background color
• Secondly, they should stand out from the
color of the rest of the text; so, no black links
with black text
• Finally, if usability if your priority, sticking to
blue for links is best. The browser’s default

color is blue,Management

Conversions
– Define a “conversion” for your site
– Which is your conversion page?
• How much is each conversion is worth?
• How much does each conversion costs in terms of
CPC’s assuming you choose 3 keywords for the
AdWords program to promote this website?
Global Innovation Management
Track account performance
• Monitor your results to ensure your ROI
• Check your account statistics.
• Your CTR, first page bid estimates, and keyword
status are good initial indicators of how well your
ads are performing
• Create reports.
• Create custom reports that tell you exactly what
statistics you want to know, from the campaign
level to the keyword or placement level.
• Use web analytics.
• Google Analytics to analyze what people are doing
on your site. Management
Global Innovation
Bidding
• There are two types of bidding options that
determine what results you'll pay for:
• Cost-per-click (CPC) bid: the amount you're willing
to pay for each time someone clicks on your ad
when it shows on Google or one of our partner
sites.
• Cost-per-impressions (CPM) bid: the amount
you're willing to pay for each 1000 times your ad
appears on one of Google's content network
partner sites. That means you pay when your ad
shows, whether or not a user clicks the ad.
• Your Quality Score.
